Here Come Dots (Portland, OR)
www.facebook.com/herecomedots
Taking their name from a mysterious, single sentence out of Mark Z. Danielewski's novel, "House of Leaves", Here Come Dots is also the anagram for "The Morse Code". Both fitting contexts for a band that crafts it's music like the underscore to a mystery novel, or the sound of some sort of cosmic secret trying to solve itself. In their fourth year, the members of this outfit initialized their project in Portland, though these friends all hail from Douglas County in southern Oregon. Here Come Dots have penned a unique, lavish, visceral and hard hitting body of work that could be described as "The Beatles taking acid in a cathedral", or a heavier mid-period Radiohead pillaging Brian Wilson's vocal melodies.
